Are increased Illegal temples and charity offerings India’s confidence index ?

What to millions of Indians do when they feel help less, hopeless. Either they pray god or atlest invent one where there is least possibility. a large chunk of land thus remains under illegal occupation. With a billion plus population of different ethnicity, cast, creed or religion share india calling it their home. I do saibaba or a more famous idols of favourite god (the hv name and fame coz they fulfill all wishes ) sitting on nuked and footpaths these days with all their happy posses .

In Mumbai alone there are 800 illegal temple (officially), well do that signify people are turning more religious in this “ghor kaliyug” or they are becoming more helpless... Whatever may be the reason it is true that putting up two stones or occupying a piece of land in the name of religion is a blatant crime and it must halt because such land belongs to all citizens and not just some groups and sects.

I have seen gods of all shapes and sizes till date, in fact even herd a debate on the shape being one of 360 crore gods from hindu Vedas. Some said it is a trunk , others said it is gadha, rest said it is vahan of devi (swan) but all agreed to one fact that it was a hindu god and need to be worshipped.

I am nt a Marxist or atheist , i m more concerned about the later part which is demolition and hurting feeling and the cycle continues.

We got enough problem to worries , but looking at these increased number of illegal temples and charity offering, a second thought is bound to touch mind. if it is true that people resort to all sort modes to get “man ki shanti”, Indians are very unhappy and they do not have confidence in their leadership nor do they feel a sense of achievement or ownership of their deeds i.e. their life is not in their control. It is also evident from the latest world happiness index.India ranks 36 below SAARC peers.

Do we have a solution , first for illegal temples and then on crises of happiness. Had I to answer , why would I exclaim “Ho my god!”
